Vaginal Health
Experiencing vaginal dryness or discomfort?
Vaginal changes are common — particularly around menopause, after childbirth, or during hormonal shifts — but they’re often under‑discussed and misunderstood.
If you’re experiencing dryness, soreness, irritation, pain during sex, or recurrent discomfort, an online consultation can help you understand what support might be appropriate.

Vaginal health Concerns are Common — and Treatable
Hormonal changes, especially falling oestrogen levels, can affect the vaginal tissues and surrounding area. This can lead to symptoms that impact comfort, intimacy, and quality of life.
For many women, treatment or local support can significantly improve symptoms. What’s suitable depends on your symptoms, medical history, and individual needs.
What causes Vaginal Dryness and Discomfort?
Vaginal dryness and related symptoms are most commonly caused by reduced oestrogen. This can occur:
- During perimenopause and menopause
- After childbirth or while breastfeeding
- Following certain cancer treatments
- With long-term hormonal suppression
- Naturally with ageing
Reduced oestrogen can make vaginal tissues thinner, drier, and less elastic — sometimes referred to as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).
An online consultation helps clarify what’s most likely in your case.

For most women, local vaginal oestrogen is considered low risk. A clinician will assess suitability.

Not necessarily. Many women use local treatments without systemic HRT.

Some women notice improvement within weeks, but full benefit may take longer.
Can I use vaginal treatments long‑term?
This depends on the product and your health history. Ongoing use is reviewed by a clinician.
